Thakoon

TIE-DYE is already shaping up to be a form favourite among designers in New York this season - and Thakoon Panichgul continued that train of thought today for a collection that took the shape of a man's shirt - where it swoops down past the last button - and made it the focus for shorts and dress hems and the overall silhouette.

It was a neat style note. And that was the takeaway from the collection - clever fashion tricks, so dressing gowns featured in both a poolside and actually (out and about on the streets) outside capacity. It was very loungewear orientated and when it wasn't it was a grown-up take on Nineties favourites: lovely wispy floral dresses and boxy white jackets.

"Urbanity" was a word cited in the notes, which is very New York, but was also appropriate to this collection.
